Once or twice every decade a clown car gets released and a handful of dipshits buy them and become the red-headed stepchildren of our roadways. The butt of jokes. Cautionary tales.

Ford Pinto

Pontiac Aztek

Chrysler PT Cruiser

Tesla Cybercuck

    I would 100% drive a convertible PT Cruiser and I'd do it with pride 😄 I mean it absolutely is a silly car but like in a self aware way if that makes sense

    Don't sleep on the Delorean! Those things were the laughing stock of America before Back to the Future made them cool again. Funny enough, they had many of the same problems Musk's stainless steel, uh, thing, has.

    The Pinto is a bit different as they were useful, reasonably priced, and fairly popular. If hadn't ended up with that combination of bumper and gas tank placement, the model name would probably still be going strong.

    Don’t forget the Chevy Avalanche.

    The Avalanche wasn’t that bad. You could even get it with an 8.1 L V8.

    I have seen 2 of those in the wild they were in mint shape. They were also in scrap yard. Turn out the 8.1l had a fuel economy of, how ever long is the fuel hose at the gas station? Those poor shleps that got suckered into those trucks.

  • Dont you dare diss the Pinto and Aztek. The flaws of the Pinto was present within a lot of the eras cars it just happens that the Pinto got the reputation of being the squicky wheel. The Aztek while fugly and a bit fucky repair wise is a somewhat respectable vehicle. The PT cruiser is certainly a car that exists.

    The cybercuck on the other hand has the build quality of a Yugo with none of the redeeming qualities like being cheap or theoretically easy to work on, also it isn't a meme car by virtue of being too stubborn to die. The cybercuck just wants to die.
